KeyMod - the design concept taking the firearms industry by storm


KeyMod is an open-source design released for use and distribution in the public domain in an effort to standardize universal attachment systems in the firearm accessories market. The KeyMod system is intended to be used as a direct attachment method for firearm accessories such as flash light mounts, laser modules, sights, scope mounts, vertical grips, rail panels, hand stops, barricade supports, and many others. The goal is to eliminate the need for the heavy and often non-ergonomic MIL-STD-1913 accessory rails. The KeyMod system consists of two parts: the KeyMod slot and the KeyMod nut. The slot is distinctive with a larger diameter through-hole combined with a narrow slot. The slot is chamfered on the backside while the through hole is sized for clearance of a quick-detach sling swivel.

We have been adding products to our offerings that emphasize the KeyMod concept. Following are a few that illustrate how forearm rails are now being setup with the KeyMod attachment point and a few products that are designed for that attachment point.

We have many other parts and accessories that are using the KeyMod design concept.   Best way to see a full list is to use the search function on this page: search Cactus Tactical's web site.
